   I'm primaraly a packager for Debian but keep in mind that is
traditionally via Debian that applications and updates to those
applications are done.  OTOH; if I were not interested in the status of
SQL-Ledger in Ubuntu, I would not have been reviewing the bugs present
for it there.

   There not being a public repository for upstream is definitely an
issue.

   There is the Debian packaging repository, currently at:
https://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/sql-ledger.git.

   That will be changing at some point, possibly, due to infrastructure changes 
at Debian.
   There is also this packaging repository at GitHub, mirrored from the Debian 
one, where there is 
   a branch for packaging v3.2.5:
https://github.com/rocasa/pkg-sql-ledger

   And regarding the missing sourse files issue itself;  other
applications use something like that same file, so need to see how they
handle it.

   Shouldn't something like that be sent to upstream?

   You mean, those lintian errors? A minimal command line for that is as 
follows (where my system 
is set to automatically run Lintian after the build and also includes an 
apropriate '-e" option):  debuild -rfakeroot -us -uc
   That, of course, is on an extracted sql-ledger archive with an apropriate 
debian/ directory.
